CMA WANTS THE FEDS TO PUT NEW FUNDING INTO HEALTH CARE

-The Canadian Medical Association is calling on the Premiers to tell the feds its time for them to come up with NEW funding–to cover the federal share of healthcare costs needed for seniors. The Conference Board of Canada says healthcare spending is going to rise by about 20-percent over the next ten years. The board says the feds will have to “top up” the Canada Health Transfer by 21.1-billion dollars—over that same time frame. (phoyo credit–Muskoka Senior Care)
